Archeologists discover 5,000-year-old underground city that could be the largest ever found. A newly discovered 5,000-year-old underground city is being hailed as one of the largest in the world – and one of the top archeological finds of all time.

Underwater "Stonehenge" discovered near Sicily is over 10,000-years-old. Off the coast of Sicily, researchers have discovered a giant stone monolith submerged in a shallow channel.

A report published in Science Direct suggests the man-made object was created by an ancient civilization for a purpose likely akin to that of Stonehenge, which the monolith resembles. Researchers estimate the monument’s age at over 10,000 years, and believe its existence confirms “significant Mesolithic human activity in the Sicilian Channel region.” The 12-meter-long (39-foot-long) statue was cut from a single, large block. It was found broken in two pieces, and has three holes in it, one of which goes right through the middle.

A Practical Utopian’s Guide to the Coming Collapse. David Graeber [from The Baffler No. 22, 2013] What is a revolution? We used to think we knew. Revolutions were seizures of power by popular forces aiming to transform the very nature of the political, social, and economic system in the country in which the revolution took place, usually according to some visionary dream of a just society. Nowadays, we live in an age when, if rebel armies do come sweeping into a city, or mass uprisings overthrow a dictator, it’s unlikely to have any such implications; when profound social transformation does occur—as with, say, the rise of feminism—it’s likely to take an entirely different form. At moments like this, it generally pays to go back to the history one already knows and ask: Were revolutions ever really what we thought them to be?
